S2D (@S2D_OW) reportedam i bad at overwatch or is everyone else on my team the problem
-
Davin.mk (@Davinmk) reported@bnpar26 @GagasLeftT0e It is a problem. DVA has been broken since the start of overwatch. She still is, she is after Freja the most banned tank in higher ranks
-
E nigma (@Inscryptioner) reported@j_step21 Hot take, but Concord wasn't 'terrible' as a game. The issue was, it was just Overwatch but slower. The lore was pretty decent, and it seems someone put effort into that. It's just a shame the character designs were so piss poor and it brought nothing new to the table
-
kholby 🇵🇸 (@SAINTFIREN0X) reporteddid the overwatch servers just crash for a second…
-
키바 (@RemoXII) reported@Blizzard_Ent I literally just got penalized in Overwatch because everything froze and crash while I was in a match, and it just happened twice today..
-
Grok (@grok) reportedBello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

Jlopez (@Jlopez9417) reported@Chai_Splat I have a slight input lag on the Switch 2 version of Overwatch 2. Is it only me?
-
YeeHan Enjoyer (@YeeHanHater) reportedoverwatch, wdym I can't hear my gf sing now 😡😡 fix the vc 😡😡😡
-
Symbiote Serg (@SymbioteSerg) reported@DarkDragonMasta You’re right, the other live service games are charging $10 for recolors and $25-$30 for costumes (Fortnite, Overwatch, Diablo). Name a live service game that is cheaper than MR? BP next month? All BPs in all these games give maximum value, that’s not even the same comparison.
-
Davie (@thesurveypoops) reported@wildcatsmine this is overwatch biggest problem the battle pass is always so random
-
big7pointer (@Big7pointer) reported@yseasoned @Greenpig117 Because overwatch simply missed its chance to be a good game again i'm afraid. Their lack of trying to improve until they had competition is the embodiment of everything wrong with live service games.
-
Creepy Crawler (@ThCreepyCrawler) reported@fuckhankandtony The main problems with that would be similar to the reason Lifeweaver is hated in overwatch Would there be a confirmation every time he carries you back? If not would that result in a lot of throwing? Stuff like that. Very interesting tho
-
gamja (@gamja2174) reported@Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.
-
Sykii (@Sykii_) reported@Bloomzor @DumbsYT @Necrit94 I tried to argument it further on another answer. The problem is that I don't know why does he say that so I can't really fight it with arguments, from my perspective league is not on a bad spot and has been on way worse ones. Like overwatch or Fortnite release
-
bleh (@GiniaAlexx) reportedOverwatch can you fix your damn game why am I crashing every time I go to Anubis and why am I suspended from having to restart my game?? I wasn’t in a match BECAUSE THE GAME CRASHED
-
notoriginal (@DovydasDovis3) reported@KingKaiCUCOO @RivalsLeaks personally it feels bad to play compared to Overwatch (let’s say it’s a direct competitor), maybe cause it’s 3rd person or cause of the performance issues but it does not play anywhere near as smooth as Overwatch does
-
Dakota Bannigan (@Kitceartas) reported@BlizzardCS Can I talk to a human about hacking in overwatch two. If given the opportunity I will work actual work weeks to find and implement ways to help this problem for very reasonable rates.
-
Miriam 'fuckng' Undertale (@miwiamundertale) reportedSee the issue with wow currently is that it was originally designed to be tf2 but over time has become overwatch, and no matter what version of the game you try to launch the community only wants overwatch
-

NotxEevee (@NotxNami) reported@ShitpostRock Blizzard, it's not even close. From Warcraft 3 to current WoW... From Diablo 2 to Diablo 4 VoH... From Overwatch to the many broken promises of OW2...
-
divinity (@owdivinity) reportedI am currently looking for work as an 3DITOR. I can work in both short and long form. I have a solid understanding of Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, League of Legends, and Valorant, and am open to non-game-specific work. DM For Resume/Reel Discord: divinityy. Due to some clerical errors, my university job likely won't be able to get me on payroll until the start of the next semester, and I have bills to pay.

osf (@oh_ess_eff) reported@JJETSFAN u gotta use the operator bro thats a lot like overwatch stuff from what ive heard and its lowkey broken
-
春药 (@RyleeMoore26914) reported@WaymanSien97577 Why am I flipping banned because overwatch kicked me out???? I just got two minute ban on playing overwatch cause I “left a game” but it was some stupid DNS error! I did not intentionally leave a game!
-
TheWalker (@TheWalker_07) reported@KitanaXMomiji Right, me not wanting to wait 10 minutes just to play a role and never get to switch off it makes me the problem Just go play overwatch if you want one so bad and so trying to make rivals overwatch
-
Hectermancer (@hectermage) reported@Pirat_Nation And I'll double down in not caring about any of Sony's live service games, until they make something more interesting then another Apex Legends, and Overwatch clone.
-
wyrm (Ramattra Daki IN PRODUCTION) (@ohwyrmm) reported@ceroeit Thank you! I lowkey think it's just in one of the art books so I'm just going to have to sit down with mine Weird issue with googling Overwatch Era Overwatch images is that. That's the. Name of the franchise. So it doesn't work
-
Grok (@grok) reportedNetwork interpolation delay in Overwatch 2, typically around 31.25 ms at a 64 Hz tick rate, smooths gameplay by predicting movements between server updates. It ensures fluid visuals but can cause issues: shots may miss or hit incorrectly due to client-server mismatches, enemy movements may appear erratic, and abilities might not sync properly. Players with lower latency gain a competitive edge, as their actions register faster. While essential for a playable experience, high delay can lead to rubberbanding and frustration. Optimizing your connection, like using wired internet, may help reduce these effects.

vene₶iaπ ～｡☆꒰ 🐑🍷 (@liespiach) reporteda lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.
-
GarikLoran_OW (@GarikLoran_OW) reported@aaronkellerOW please fix matchmaking for Drives. It is truly the most miserable Overwatch experience. Drives are the only time where I have ever hated the game.
